I have used them ,on lowered ,or modified suspensions. Raising can do the same thing. Shims should be available at your local spring shop,& they can supply you with a spring center bolt that has a longer locator pin if need. Good luck.....69 longhorn.

May not be much of an issue, depends on how high you are going. Usually you don't have a problem with a 4" lift, probably an issue with a 6" or higher.
